Series
Identifier: Series IV
Scope and Contents
At 100 pages, this is the largest of the four scrap books and contains the most varied materials, of which only the highlights can be mentioned here. A number of biographical pieces on prominent figures include Nobel Prize winning economist Wassily W. Leontief and his wife, Estelle; Eli Goldstein, a business and civic leader; and Dr. David Dow, the Cambridge Medical Examiner. Transitional events are also recorded, such as the closing of the Riverside Press and the Window Shop; the centennial celebration of First Church Congregational; and the renovation and renaming of the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. Celebrations and dedications are also covered, as the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976; the Colonel Henry Knox Expedition; and the dedications of the Fort Washington Park and the Cambridge Center for Adult Education’s Dexter Pratt House. Also of interest is a six part series on the Cambridge water supply system.
